friends when they learned of her engagement

IL would have proved a mistake; but Esther

ritory, as provided by the legislature,

third Of the voters. Local option, or
prohibition, conventions are being called
in nearly all the counties outside OF the
Black Hills and the new railrd ad Sec
tions, and II Is claimed that In nearly
every one the requisite names will be
secured. Ii is believed this will be the
case even In Cass county, which has
some 20 saloons, several brew
eriee and large wholesale IL
Quor business. Fargo has this
among its largest interests, and its ex-
tinotion IS anticipated with mnch con-
oern. Ageneral prohibition campaign
Is being inaugurated, and Ii Ia believed
that nearly 60 out Of so counties will
vote out the liquor traffic in November.

Eight Victims at Horse Shoe Bend.

PTTTsBURG, May 2S.-The latest re.
ports from the scene OF the accident at
Horse Shoe Bend on the Pennsylvania
railroad last night, state that eight were
killed and six injured. Four were killed
outright and the others have since died.
The Inflated train arrived at the
Union depot, this city, at $3.50 O'Clock
this morning, with some ninety passen-
gers abroad. Almost the first person to
step from the train was Miss Mcmahon,
Of Beaver Falls, Pa. Her story is as fol-
lows: al was sitting about In the middle
of the second coach from the engine.
The train was running at high rate Of
speed when | was thrown violently
against the seat In front Of me. In a
minute after all was confusion. l soon
heard shrieks from the passengers In the
coach in the rear Of the one was In. 1
raised q window, looked out, and saw
the entire sides of two coaches,
Immediately In rear Of the one | WAS in,
crushed In and could see passengers
climbing out over coal cars, lying on the
adjoining track. Passengers who were
killed and wounded.

smoking car. 81 was sitting" said he
"about four seats to the rear OF Dale
Graham, when the trains oollided. The
entire side Of our coach was crushed in
and young Graham was liter
ally buried beneath the ruins. But
one moan escaped his lips
and he must have died instantly,
for he was about the first victim we set
about to recover. When extricated
from the wreck his form was lifeless.
We must have been running at rate of
speed OF 30 miles an hour at the time
the collision occurred, and the freight, l
should judge, was running about IL
miles an hour. The freight was heavily
loaded, and the terrible crash caused a
panic among the passengers"

A PULPIT VOICE.
Rev. Gentry Speaks the Second Time
The Colored Brother Understands
the Situation.
SAN ANTONIO, May %.

the Situation.
SAN ANTONIO, May %.
Editor LIGHT:
AS L did not complete my address to
the "colored population and the white
friends" in my former letter, hope you
will accept my second communication
on the anti-prOhibition side of this ques-
ton.
The oolOred people are naturally tenn
perate and religious, and the colored
people are less affected than any other
class OF citizens on this matter. Social
ostraoism keeps the colOred citizen from
the gaudy saloon, and 1t is only as an
assertion OF right that they visit bar
rooms at all. They are naturally tenn
perate, and drunkenness Is SCARCE among
them. The colored population do not
need prohibition. The saloon is q
greater guard against our race becoming
victims to dissipation than II prohibit
tion was In force and free whisky was
struggled into every cotton field and
corn crib In the state.
We colored people have no use for
prohibition. The good preachers have
been led astray In this matter, and they
should not place themselves in position
to be made responsible for the adoption
Of prohibition. Ii is the first time since
the reconstruction day that the demo.
Gratis having got into trouble have asked
the colered to help them out OF Ii. / say
to the pastors OF our eolored churches:
You have cut yourselves off from many
a dollar from our white friends and the
saloon-keepers, by taking part in this
prohibition movement. The white
friends help you out 10 your church mat
tiers and now you want to fight them in
this prohibition question: Don't you
know that II prohibition carries, taxes
will be 80 per cent. higher than they are
now. Remember that 80 years ago when
we wanted dram we had to get an Or
der from our masters before we could
get the dram, and II this prohibition
carries 1t will be all for the benefit OF
the fellows who give the orders. Christ
don't command his preachers to preach
prohibition to the people, he command
ed them to preach the gospel" and not
prohibition; see Mark xvi 10.
